I don't like Otto radio any more...

Dec 13, 2017

I don't like otto radio any more, I was thrilled when I discovered something like this had returned I had dearly missed umano and it's articles and another app. I had that was like pandora only for podcasts and at 1st this was like having them both back only all rolled into one .... I've been thrilled about it!! Wanted to tell anyone and everyone about it!!But lately I've started to fall out of love, almost all my favorite podcasts are NOT being updated anymore, podcasts that are daily and haven't stoped being made and or released , after I tracked them down, that what loved about otto I could listen to all my faves in one place and not have to have a bunch of different apps. to find them or make sure my subscriptions were working properly via iTunes , I could have eIt all in one place plus interesting articles all in one place ...I love how I could just skim thru the different sections in the " radio for you " section and hear news articles and news of the day... but not only are my fave podcasts not up dating every thing has changed soo much I don't know what there he'll I'm supposed to do any more and I don't like it or enjoy myself all...I sent a complaint in about my podcasts almost two weeks ago and never got a reply... and sadly deleting and trying to start over only ruined what little enjoyment I had there ...I'm thinking I should just give up...

(FEATURE SUGGESTION) Almost Perfect!!!

Sep 23, 2017

DIGITAL MASNESS

This might be the best podcast app I've ever used, but there is ONE feature that really bugs me while using the app. When you go into your "All New" tab you see the little red dot that says the number of new episodes you have, and it stays there until you have clicked on each UN listened episode. There should be an option to mark an episode as "played" or "listened" because sometimes maybe you've listened to the episode beforehand on a podcast's website or maybe you are not caught up with a certain podcast and seeing the episodes stack up is very annoying and can quickly become useless when you want to know how many episodes you REALLY have to watch at the time. If not "played," then maybe it a "dismiss" button or option. It would make the app a 5 star for me.

Otto Radio has changed for the worse

Feb 6, 2018

siggle_piggle04

I adored Otto Radio when I first discovered it. It was great. Really great. I loved that I could customize my news reports around the subjects I was interested in, and I could get a new broadcast - refreshed with entirely new content - every time I listened. A customized news report was what I thought was the heart of Otto Radio. That’s what made it unique and special.

Now it’s completely different. That feature appears to have been completely removed. It’s gone. And now Otto Radio is just like dozens of other apps that play audiobooks and podcasts. What makes this app different than all the others?

On top of all of that, it’s become much more difficult to use and navigate through. It’s so disappointing and so sad. What was once a really great app feels like it’s sold out. It’s become so bloated and generic. You had something great. I wish you’d bring it back.
